Chapter 757: Not Deserving

He looked deep into Zhou Huaijin.

Zhou Huaijin did not seem to have the intention of being persuaded. He was leaving the decision-making right to Chaoyan.

Normally, Zhou Huailing would get angry, but he pressed down the fury. He was aware that even if he became angry, Zhou Huaijin would not say yes, and he might possibly spread the bad news. Zhou Huailing had been prepared for that. He had been tolerating a lot of things over the years, and he was able to do that now too.

Although he was not exactly angry, Zhou Huailing still did not have a good expression on his face. It took him a long time before pressing down his anger.

He changed his expression and became much calmer. He patted Gu Ruxue, telling her not to get anxious.

Then he said politely, “Since Lady Chaoyan likes that phoenix too, what about doing this – I heard that Lady Chaoyan called out the phoenix with a flute back on the pitch, how about you teach Ruxue how to call the phoenix. Ruxue loves that phoenix, so I am here asking you for that.”

“…”

“Also, Ruxue is going to be your sister-in-law soon, and you have been sisters, so you have a deep affection compared to others, so I can still help you with anything.”

Zhou Huailing tried to persuade her.

Gu Chaoyan had obviously felt how the phoenix had affected her reputation, so she was not willing to bring out the bird right now.

Zhou Huailing understood her point totally, but if both of them shared the phoenix, then Ruxue would be even more convincing with the bird in her hands. When that time came, he would have the method to turn the situation around. That was why he came up with such a method.

Zhou Huaijin frowned. He was about to turn them down directly, but Gu Chaoyan took hold of Zhou Huaijin’s hands and shook her head slightly.

Then she said to Zhou Huailing. “That sounds okay, but I can’t guarantee that the phoenix would listen to you after hearing the music.”

Zhou Huailing’s eyes were already s.h.i.+ning when he heard what Gu Chaoyan said.

Well… if Gu Chaoyan’s flute worked, then Ruxue’s flute would work too. That phoenix would definitely obey the sound of the flute.

Zhou Huailing said with a smile, “That is okay, you can just teach her how to play the music, and it would depend on Ruxue whether she is able to call the phoenix!”

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

She looked at Zhou Huailing and Gu Chaoyan and said straightforwardly, “If that is the case, I don’t need any conditions you offered just now, give me money then, 1 million will do, When the check is delivered here, I will give you the music.”

Zhou Huailing was startled. He had not expected that Gu Chaoyan would ask for money, but… One million was okay for Lord Ling.

As long as the phoenix could become theirs, money was nothing.

“Okay, I will get the money delivered to you tomorrow, Lady Chaoyan, just get the music ready.” Zhou Huailing had a proud smile on his face.

When the deal was done, Zhou Huailing and Gu Ruxue left directly.

They did not seem to have any intention of staying one more minute at the mansion.

Zhou Huaijin asked seriously, “Chaoyan, we don’t need one million, why give them the music? They don’t deserve to have the phoenix.”

Haha.

Gu Chaoyan could not help laughing..
